A Pillow Book is a diary of sorts. It doesn't just talk about the day's events, but contains lists, observations, conversations, musings, anything the writer feels like writing about really. 21st Century is because this is a modern pillow book, since it's done on a computer.
This is me. This is what my life is all about. I will let you into my head a bit... feel what I'm feeling, see what I'm creating, understand what I'm learning. Enjoy my journey right along with me!

Simply Sinister: Day 12 of 31 Days of Halloween

As much as I love doing the 31 Days of Halloween, it seems to be making the month go by so much faster! And, since this is clearly my favorite month, all I want it to do is sloooooow doooown!

I got very inspired by the latest Macabre Monday challenge from Haunted Design House. The challenge is Simply Sinister. Your project is to be “sinister, but in a clean & simple way... no layer upon layer of schtuff. Keep one main focus to your project, simple & few embellishments... and make it a little creepy at the same time.” And, since Simply Betty is sponsoring their chllenge this week, I knew I needed to break out my beloved Rio stamp and use her!

How’s this for simple??? I used only one piece of paper, one marker, one colored pencil, 2 stamps, and one Dew Drop. Not bad right?

Here’s a close up of Rio. You can see that I colored her and her batty with a single water color marker (the shading looks waaaay better in person!), and her skin is one pencil. I used the same marker as a border on the card.

I had this teeny stamp of a flock of bats (do bats fly in flocks? Swarms? Anyone know???) from Inkandinkado which I stamped several times as a border. Again, one piece of scrap and a single, lonely Dew Drop in the upper left corner and I was finished!

I couldn’t believe how quickly this card came together! And, I think it came out sinister enough! That marker color is a weird greenish grey…kinda like the sky right before a really evil storm during the day…you know that icky, murky color right??? Perfect!

Please visit the rest of the Wicked Bloggers now (posted in my sidebar) to see some more creep-tastic creations! Have an inspiring (and spooky!) day!!!

I colored this beauty with Zig Clean Color Markers and a water brush. Here's a close up.

My background was created with the Piasso Stencil from Dreamweaver (available from Stampendous), White VersaColor Ink (from Imagine), a sponge dauber, and Detail White Embossing Enamel. Then I sprayed the background with Sheer Shimmer Spritz in Frost. You'll see that better in the photo below. The entire background looks frosty. My sentiment is from the Soaring Sentiments set. I edged it and my card base with Bahama Blue and Danube Blue Memento Ink, which really matched her jacket perfectly.

See the pretty shimmer? I love the Sheer Shimmer Spritzes, and I encourage you to give them a try. I'll have another project for A Day for Daises soon, and our February challenge will be posted on Friday. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!
